New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has ordered the New York Police Department to conduct a comprehensive review of how officers use force against civilians, announced Monday. The coverage links the move to the retirement of an officer who faced a disciplinary trial over the 2024 death of 19-year-old Win Rozario; the mayor's measures aim to stop officers facing misconduct charges from avoiding discipline by retiring. Mamdani also announced more funding for the NYPD Office of the Inspector General. A city spokesperson said the reforms are not connected to a police response to an ICE shooting last week. Fox News reports that the review does not yet fulfill campaign pledges, including disbanding the Strategic Response Group.
